yellow with 5 inch flcrets that has 8

cream approaches La Belle in total com- 
m.rcial importance. It is very vigorous 
and very heavily ruffled. La Belle blooms

LADY BOO (Graff) 440 (Mid-season). 
Sweet is the adjective describing this 
glad of purest shade of shell pink. Ab- 
sclutely a self color. Not a crook in a 
carload. It has appeal, opens well in 
water and to the very tip. Demand since

son) Large clear salmon pink shading 
to a slightly deeper throat. Opens 8 wide

my opinion the best early white. It 1s 
better than Texas. Opens 7 lustrous and 
ruffled 6 inch florets on a 27 inch flower- 
head. One of the best new varieties. 
Don. miss Lady Anne. L .15; M 2.20; S84 
20; Blbts. 100 .50. 
LAVENDER LACE (466) A new glad that 
that -has made our list this year. The 
color is about the same medium lavender 
as Elizabeth the Queen, but it has a 
large yellow throat lip. It is also a 
stronger grower and should prove really 
good. It carries a nice exhibition type 
spike of 20 buds with 8 open. You can 
watch for this one at the shows in the 
near future. Stock very limited. L 50; 
M .35; S .25; Blbts. 10-.50. 
LAVENDER DREAM 466 A pale but in- 
tense lavender “blue” color, and earliness 
of bloom make Lavender Dream an im- 
portant gladiolus. It is particularly im- 
pressive in basket work. It is a tall 
growing gladiolus. L 2 .25; M 3 .25; S 
4-.35; Blbts. 100-.75.

dark purple, opening 8 to 10 lightly 
ruffled blooms. Tall straight spike. Give 
Lancaster a little extra care and you

becoming increasingly well liked. L .15;
